Independence for Solomon: pair of hearing aids
Solomon needs a pair of hearing aids that the health system won't fund; the cost is $800.
🇪🇹 Ethiopia814 views
Solomon lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at the Adama Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended a pair of hearing aids. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $800.
His current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment Solomon could attend work interviews. It would change everyday life for the whole family.
We've applied to two charities already and received small contributions; this campaign covers the rest.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $800 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $40
• Delivery and set-up: $10
• pair of hearing aids: $750
Thanks for being kind about this.

Praying for you, Samuel. Shared this with my family. Take care.
Hang in there. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Likoni
